<p />
By default you'll see a flashing insertion point in the program window the first time you boot it up. This is where new media is pasted onto the timeline. It's also the starting point of all playback operations. When rendering it defines the region of the timeline to be rendered.
<p />
The insertion point is normally moved by clicking inside the timebar. Any region of the timebar not obscured by labels and <span class="twikiNewLink" style="background : #FFFFCE;"><font color="#0000FF">in/out points</font><a href="http://www.ftconsult.com/twiki/bin/edit/Cinelerra/InoutPoints?topicparent=Cinelerra.InsertionPoint"><sup>?</sup></a></span> is a hotspot for repositioning the insertion point.

The insertion point also can be moved by clicking in the timeline itself, but not always. The insertion point has two modes of operation:
<p />
<ul>
<li> drag and drop mode
</li>
<li> cut and paste mode
</li>
</ul>
<p />
The mode of operation is determined by selecting the arrow or the i-beam in the buttonbar.

<p />
If the arrow is highlighted it enables drag and drop mode. In drag and drop mode, clicking in the timeline doesn't reposition the insertion point. Instead it selects an entire edit. Dragging in the timeline repositions the edit, snapping it to other edit boundaries. This is normally useful for reordering audio playlists and moving effects around.
<p />
If the i-beam is highlighted it enables cut and paste mode. In cut and paste mode clicking in the timeline repositions the insertion point. Dragging in the timeline highlights a region. The highlighted region becomes the playback range during the next playback operation, the rendered range during the next render operation, and the region affected by cut and paste operations.
<p />
<ul>
<li> <strong>Shift-clicking</strong> in the timeline extends the highlighted region.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
<ul>
<li> <strong>Double-clicking</strong> in the timeline selects the entire edit the cursor is over.
</li>
</ul>
<p />
It should be noted that when moving the insertion point and selecting regions, the positions are either aligned to frames or aligned to samples. When editing video you'll want to align to frames. When editing audio you'll want to align to samples. This is set in <a class="twikiLink" href="../../view/Cinelerra/SettingsMenu">SettingsMenu</a> <strong>-&gt;align</strong> cursor on frames.
<p />
If the highlighted region is the region affected by cut and paste operations, how do I cut and paste in drag and drop mode? In this case you need to set <span class="twikiNewLink" style="background : #FFFFCE;"><font color="#0000FF">in/out points</font><a href="http://www.ftconsult.com/twiki/bin/edit/Cinelerra/InoutPoints?topicparent=Cinelerra.InsertionPoint"><sup>?</sup></a></span> to define an affected region.
